<P>Still working on it. Some knowledge about how scsi works and that it can <BR>access multiple drives simultaneously. Therefore, try to keep partitions <BR>that get heavy use on separate drives. More later.<BR>Bob<BR></P>
<P>Hi Bob,</P>
<P>Oh I see, something like I was trying to figure out, and why I was flipping the partitions around on paper. Sounds cool! What would be the most used partitions? Would you say: swap, /, /var, ??? That is why I was moving them around in my mind! </P>
<P>I have not started the install till I'm sure of the line-up. As well as getting 80 minute CD-R's to burn with so I can turn the ISO's I downloaded from <A href="ftp://ftp.cse.buffalo.edu/">ftp://ftp.cse.buffalo.edu/</A> into binary. </P>
<P>From all I've read SCSI has its pro's and con's but the pro's out weight the con's. SCSI is so cool, but the more modern SCSI is still out of my reach$. One day I will build a new system with modern SCSI...all the top shelf parts. </P>
<P>I'd like to build a hot-swap raid server just for the heck of it. All the bells and whistles. Even if I can't build a new one I can try to build one as a legacy hardware box as I'm doing now. </P>
<P>Well I just woke up and need coffee, talk to ya later have a good one!</P>
